Safety Information
Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:
▪▪ Read all instructions carefully.
▪▪ Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
▪▪ Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.
▪▪ When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts specified by the
manufacturer.
▪▪ Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device.

Installation Recommendations
Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into
components and cause a malfunction.
Use containers to keep small components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the
internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools,
including the following:
▪▪ A Philips screwdriver
▪▪ A flat-tipped screwdriver
▪▪ A grounding strap
▪▪ An anti-static pad
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you
do not use needle-nose pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft
metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
Safety Precautions
1. Read these safety instructions carefully.
2. Keep this User Manual for later reference.
3. Disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth.
Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
4. For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the equipment
and must be easily accessible.
5. Keep this equipment away from humidity.
6. Put this equipment on a stable surface during installation. Dropping it or letting it fall
may cause damage.
7. The openings on the enclosure are for air convection to protect the equipment from
overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
8. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
9. Place the power cord in a way so that people will not step on it. Do not place
anything on top of the power cord. Use a power cord that has been approved for
use with the product and that it matches the voltage and current marked on the
product’s electrical range label. The voltage and current rating of the cord must be
greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.
10. All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
11. If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to
avoid damage by transient overvoltage.

12. Never pour any liquid into an opening. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
13. Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, the equipment should be opened
only by qualified service personnel.
14. If one of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service
personnel:
a. The power cord or plug is damaged.
b. Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
c. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
d. The equipment does not work well, or you cannot get it to work according to the
user’s manual.
e. The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
f. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
15. Do not place heavy objects on the equipment.
16. Be sure to ground the 0.75mm2 with an appropriate grounding wire (not included)
by attaching it to the grounding screw on the unit and to a good ground connection.
Earth, Green/Yellow wire, 18AWG, the minimum cross-sectional area of Earth
conductor shall equal to Input wiring cable.
17. The front of the Equipment requires wiring terminals with the following
specifications:
Wire size: 30-12 AWG (0.0509-3.3088 mm²)
Wire Type: copper wire only
Terminal Blocks Torque: 5 lb In. (0.565 N-m).
For supply connections, use wires suitable for at least 75 degree C ambient
environment
-There must be a disconnect device in front of “NIO200 series” to keep the
worker or field side maintainer be cautious and aware to close the general
power supply before they start to do maintenance. The disconnect device
hereby means a 20A circuit-breaker. Power installation must be performed
with qualified electrician and followed with National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1.
